Oriental Coleslaw Recipe

I am not a coleslaw lover, so years ago when I was offered a scoop of this Oriental Coleslaw at a Boy Scout get together… well let’s just say I accepted it so as to not hurt her feelings. Two bites in I realized how amazing this slaw was and as I finished off the scoop she gave me I was trying to figure out how to ask for seconds without looking greedy. I was fortunate that she was flattered when I asked for the recipe and I have been making it for family get togethers ever since. I have tweeked the recipe a little as our dietary focus changed, but the overall taste has never been better.

This recipe is perfect for upcoming spring & summer picnics and get togethers. It’s easy to make, travels well and is packed with fiber, protein from the nuts and monounsaturated fatty acids from the olive oil.

I had this salad or something similar years ago and had forgotten about it. I love to add dried cranberries to my regular coleslaw, so I may try it here too. Also like that it isn’t loaded with mayonnaise, but wondering how high the salt content is.

I got a chuckle out of that. I’ve had it happen to me once in a while, taking an obligatory bite of something, and being consumed with instant passion for it!! This sounds good to me, it caught my eye! I’ve often looked for something a little different with cabbage, this is just perfect!
